It has been a few years since I have done anything like what I am up to now and it looks like I am way over way head....yet again blink.gif
I would like to have a link at the top of each of my web pages that will allow users to jump "down" the page to the topic that they want, without having to scroll down.
I have completely forgotten everything that I thought I once knew and I am sure that my terminology is wrong as well.
From what I can remember is that I need to create an "anchor" for the link to go to, but I have tried a couple of different times and all I am getting is "gray" hairs.
Can some one please offer some help.
Thanx.

Well I guess I should show you what I have done, to maybe help you answer my question.....
top of page:
<a href="#anchor_name"> DraxXus </a>

Down the page:
<a name="anchor_name"> DraXxus </a>

Now this does work, but I don't want to see the word DraXxus @ the bottom of the page. There is already a header there......

Since you a header, you can wrap it in <a......> & </a> tag, like this:

<a name="anchor_name">existingheader</a>

Or give the the heading an id directly. The browsers that need A name="" are so old now, so it's really isn't needed anymore.

Can I change the Header to an image instead?
